Tap in to the blind prankster market!-- mrthingy, Feb 12 2002 Yucef Merhi: "DO NOT TOUCH", 2000 http://www.cibernetic.com/art/obra18.htmlActually, it reads just "NO TOUCH".

Its not as if any blind people are reading this...-- mcscotland, Feb 12 2002 Braille isn't just for blind people. Ideal for reading in the dark.-- pottedstu, Feb 12 2002 bliss'n'all: But isn't this as much a blind joke against the sighted. At the very least it's a joke that only those that can read braille will get.-- st3f, Feb 12 2002 I don't think this is offensive to blind people at all. either; it's just a self-referential joke translated into an unusual and very suitable medium.
[mcscotland] "It's not as if blind people are reading this." The web is mostly text. Just think how much easier this is as a source of information to a blind reader of braille with a braille terminal than printed books and newspapers. Where would you hang out?
That being said, I haven't met anyone who reads the halfbakery in braille, but it's very possible; the hard- and software exists, and I've met people who used it to e.g. play muds and read their e-mail.-- jutta, Feb 13 2002 jutta - I can't remember which idea thread it was, but one 'baker did comment that he was blind. This was sometime in the last week.-- quarterbaker, Feb 13 2002 random, halfbakery
